Beam Me Up, Scotty

Style: Scottish Export/80Brewed: 03/04/2010OG: 1.052FG: 1.012

Summary
Intended to be a malty scottish ale with elements of Scotch Whisky, but ended up less malty than intended. As shown, it is a yellow, lightly malty, crisp ale with woodiness, mildly bitter, and little hop aroma/flavor. It is sessionable, and maybe closer to an English Bitter style.

Notes:
This was my first partial mash.
I did not preheat or cover the mashtun, and lost 10F during the mash.
The oak flavor was overwhelming for the first 3 months, but mellowed with time. At 6 months, the wood taste is still present, but at acceptable levels.
